Clean and lovely legs and tears. The aroma is a brilliant pepper, cooked agave, and minerals which carry through to the taste with a somewhat oily mouthfeel that is nearly perfect in texture for me. Medium/long finish that ends with some black pepper and and nice heat. I tasted this one blind and was not at all surprised when it was revealed. Currently my #1 out of 1579 and, with the G4 repo being my going favorite regularly available in that expression, that's saying something for me!

Cristal Clear juice. Nose: cooked agave, thyme, smoke, mineral, tropical fruit, citrus, sage. Need to oxygenate before tasting to appreciate all the aromas. Flavor: sweet agave, pepper, olive, tropical fruit. Finish nice and long.

If the G4 Blanco 80 proof is all cooked agave, grass, and black pepper; this is all cooked agave, black pepper, cinnamon, and alcoholic heat. I can see how the heat here may turn some people off since it certainly isn't as subtle as other high proofs. But there's still that classic El Pandillo minerality alongside some light fruits and citrus. Adding a few drops of water helps quell the heat if the alcohol proves to be too much. EDIT - I've let this open up a bit more and I'm getting lots of green olive too. Definitely take the extra time to let this one breathe.

This tequila needs to sit and open up. You also need to take your time with this, there is a lot going on with the nose, so do some exploring. This has the complexity of the G4 coming out of 1579. Nose: cooked agave, alcohol, cinnamon, wet cement after a summer rain, citrus (tangerine) vanilla, jalapeño, sweetness of grilled pineapple and peach Flavor: starts off hot, has a creamy and spicy mouth feel, cooked agave, hot cinnamon like the candy atomic fire balls, and citrus Finish: starts with sweet ripe fruit, gets spicy like green peppers, the cooked agave comes through, and finishes hot and leaves your mouth tingling Yes I would cook with this like flaming of butter sauté shrimp, scallops, or clams.

Tasting this G4 108 and a Spring Water 110 side by side. 108 is hot at first, tip of tongue numbing. Several small sips taken over 10 minutes or so have less effect and I think we're ready to taste. Technically the single water G4 55% is not the same as the blended water G4 108. Made at the same distillery these have many similarites but also numerous differences. Mouth effect is really almost 180° with the buzz right up front on the 108 assaulting the tongue whereas the SW 110 is at the end more near the back of the throat as you swallow. Great stuff in both bottles though, no doubt.

Nose: The nose needs some breathing time - you will be rewarded with subtle transitions. Opening charge brings minerals, a cellar note and rich cooked agave with undercurrents of baked pineapple. A bit later citrus blooms. Then a shift toward vegetal/herbal aromas: thyme, sage and dried oregano. Next warm “barrel-like” spices emerge: cinnamon, dried ginger, vanilla and star anise. And the agave takes on a more caramel like aroma, complementing everything that has come before it. Flavor: Somewhat creamy in the mouth. Yet with a blast of heat: black pepper, spicy cardamom, and cinnamon red hots, that sends some fire to the back palate. The herbal notes retreat somewhat, leaving the lively spices dancing on my tongue. Finish: Trace bitterness. Light colored fruit, pineapple and agave hangin’ on for the ride. Be forewarned, it finishes a little hot.

Amazing oily pepper on the palate which washes clean on the swallow only to create a lasting lingering delicious sweet mouth buzz. Wow!

The Water source comes together to make a beautiful High proof

The taste of alcohol is present on this high proof but as you work your way through the bottle you will find a nice array of flavors agave pepper cinnamon. Makes for a very nice sipper.

Agave, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Earth, Citrus, Pineapple, Ethanol yet insanely drinkable. The flavors run deep but each is a standout.

strong cooked agave nose and taste. baking spices cut grass citrus herbs. crisp natural sweet finish. another great product from g4

Pepper

as soon as it's poured, full on agave hits the nose. aroma of cinnamon and citrus in the glass adds to it. flavor is high agave, pepper heat up front. cinnamon, pineapple on the back end. great mouthfeel with long finish

Agave, pure beautiful agave on the nose. Wakes you up in a good way. An excellent improvement over G4 Blanco

Surprising finish for so high a proof.

Great cooked agave smell. Of course anything this high proof will have an alcohol smell but it’s not overpowering at all. Taste was great. Nice cinnamon and baking spices taste (agave) some heat from the alcohol but with a pepper and lite citrus finish. Really good stuff.

This is like getting punched in the mouth by an agave monster! It’s an over the top flavor explosion. Not for the meek or any newbie. So complex the finish lasts forever. I also have a 55% bottle from Pandillo, this is much more complex and intense.

Rrally strong alcohol and agave aroma, flavor is strong agave and spices, aftertaste is mostly burn for me. Strong burn due to 108 proof. God tequila but not my favorite tasting profile. Demasiado fuerte para mi, sabor y arima fuerte a alcohol y agave debido a su 108 proof. Un tequila bien hecho y puro. Ardor alto debido a su nivel de alcohol.

Lots of agave, earth, pepper, cinnamon, little sweet—maybe some pineapple. Definitely high proof, you feel the heat at the back of your throat. Nice legs and full of flavor. For blanco lovers.

Let it breath and enjoy. Loved the after taste, earthy and agave sticks around for a while.

Very strong. Not a sipper. Super spicy. Heat in the tongue.

too much alcohol bite for me to sip

Aroma: cooked agave Flavor: heavy on the cooked agave, really good, which just keeps lingering. Black pepper and a bit of heat. Comparing this to the Gran Dovejo 98, this is much more intensely flavored.

Wow... Another fantastic bottle from G4. This maybe the best high proof tequila I have ever had. The excitement, aroma, and taste reminds me of my first match ever... except this time I got the pin! Date:17/08/2020 LEXP0001B54

My Group The Tequila Barrel and Agave collective was the first to get it in the United States. absolutely amazing stuff. this has to be my favorite high proof agave. Loads of cooked agave, nice fruitiness followed by pepper and has a nice chocolate like sweetness on an amazing finish. This is a must have for anyone that lives Blanco and wants something that is pure unadulterated agave wonderfulness! salud!
